Fane Speakers

Is anyone using a Fane 15" speaker in their amp? I bought a new Evans SE 200 a few years ago and they were of the opinion that this was a great speaker. I just wondered if it is still offered. I thought it had a nice sound, but replaced it with one of my old JBL D130F's that are in the closet.

Willis, Archie Ward, there in Bradenton has some of the Fane 15's for sale.

I have a Fane 12" in my Deluxe. It is a fantastic speaker !
But (and its a big but ) Fane speakers are far from consistant. They seem to have gone through constant ownership and manufacturing changes over the years. I have a Fane 12" in a Twin over in the UK and it is junk.
I like the sound of English speakers. I will replace the crap utah and fane 12's in my twin with those new Celestion neo whatchamacallit fancy light magnet ones next time I get over there.

If the Fane is a good one there is nothing better.

Hi, Willis: I use Fane speakers exclusively in my Evans amps. Fane speakers can handle lows that I like in my tone. I keep two 15" Fanes in the store room just in case.

Thank you for the replies to my question..I will hang on to my Fanes.

Hi Willis. Fanes are pretty good, but nothing compared to the Black Widow 1501-4. They will not hold up as well as a BW. They simply can't, by design. Too bad Evans won't install new BW in their SE series. That would be a great arrangement!
